Intro

(Use hammer-ons throughout whole song for an authentic sound)

Oh Gillian, you're up with the sun

And you've done one hundred things before half past nine

By the time most folk are up and gone

You'll be starting on one hundred and one

There's not enough hours in the day

To do all the things that she's got to do

When the daylight fades

And the night invades

She's only just begun

Weary as you lay at night waiting for the sun

Planning out tomorrow now before this day is done

Gillian you work too hard

But don't try and slow her down She'll tell you

idleness is good for none, work's how I get my fun

iIdleness is good for none, work's how I get things done

Gillian, you're the one, you're the one

Shining in my life, you're my eternal sun

I'm trying to thank you now

For what I've become

But I've only just begun

Your influence has been profound and I'm proud to be your son

Your blood is my blood

We are forever bound

You're the inspiration to the way I live my life

Gillian, if you weren't my mother

I'd make you my wife
